Pros

Having worked in the Winnipeg aerospace industry now for +20yrs I've had experience at 2 of the 3 "Big 3" players in Winnipeg (them being Boeing, Standard Aero, and Magellan) here at Magellan you feel like you are actually a part of something - not just collecting a pay cheque. There is actually opportunity to share your ideas and have them heard! I'm fortunate to have found a "home" with a company that values its employees. Sure, the money can always be better. That said, the culture and environment at Magellan is somewhat of an intangible that (for me) made all the difference. Enjoying your work, and feeling a part of something goes a long way in ones career

Cons

I would say the only "downside" is the pay scale when compared to either Boeing or Standard. If the size of your pay cheque is all that matters to you, best look elsewhere. If you appreciate work/life balance, and feeling appreciated for what you bring to the table? Magellan is a great company to work for.

Pros

I worked for 2 years as a Quality Control Inspector in the Mechanical Processing Quality Control Department. Both my coworkers and management left me with very good memories – people with culture, knowledge, and commitment. The team creates a great atmosphere, and it’s really a place you want to work at – at least until management gets involved… The Mechanical Processing Department is actually “held together” only by the rank-and-file employees. It is managed by Mr. Stanisław – a person completely out of touch with today’s standards. Lack of competence, outdated work methods, and an approach based on intimidation – especially towards women – are his everyday reality. Additionally, there are private “side jobs” done on the second shift when no one is watching – for example, building a wooden chicken coop using company materials and equipment, and then transporting the finished structure home in a company vehicle. These things happened openly. I have proof. Opportunities for development? Very limited. Promotions and raises? Practically unavailable, regardless of your experience, skills, or contribution to the company. What matters is only whether you “fit into the Excel spreadsheet” and if the manager thinks you fit the table. If you openly say something is wrong or – worse – threaten to take the issue to higher management, you are immediately considered a threat and pushed out. In summary: If you have no ambitions, have a mortgage, a family to support, thick skin, and treat stability at a low wage as the most important thing – you will manage
